Join 2 tables in report viewer in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I created report viewer in ASP.NET MVC, between 2 tables.

I created adapter to get all data in report like this :

But when I export report come like this, the expence_type does not show the data:

This is my code:

 public ActionResult Reports(string ReportType)
    {
        LocalReport localreport = new LocalReport();
        localreport.ReportPath = Server.MapPath("~/Reports/ExpenseReport.rdlc");



        ReportDataSource reportDataSource = new ReportDataSource();

        reportDataSource.Name = "DataSetE";

        var dataList = (from ed in _context.ExpenseDetails
         join e in _context.Expenses on ed.ExpensesId equals e.Expenses_Id

     select new { id = ed.ExpenseDetails_Id, amount = ed.Amount, expense = ed.DateExpense, eid = ed.ExpensesId, expenseType = e.Expenses_Type }).ToList();

        reportDataSource.Value = dataList;


        reportDataSource.Value = _context.ExpenseDetails.ToList();

        localreport.DataSources.Add(reportDataSource);

        string reportType = ReportType;
        string mimeType;
        string encoding;
        string fileNameExtension;

        if (reportType == "Excel")
        {
            fileNameExtension = "xlsx";
        }

        if (reportType == "Word")
        {
            fileNameExtension = "docx";
        }

        if (reportType == "PDF")
        {
            fileNameExtension = "pdf";
        }

        else
        {
            fileNameExtension = "jpg";

        }

        string[] streams;
        Warning[] warnings;
        byte[] renderedByte;

        renderedByte = localreport.Render(reportType, "", out mimeType, out encoding, out fileNameExtension, out streams, out warnings);

        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename = expens_report." + fileNameExtension);

        return File(renderedByte, fileNameExtension);
    }

Expense Details Models :

public class ExpenseDetails
{
    [Key]
    public int ExpenseDetails_Id { get; set; }

    public double Amount { get; set; }

    public DateTime DateExpense { get; set; }

    public int ExpensesId { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("ExpensesId")]
    public virtual Expenses expenses { get; set; }
}

Expenses Models :

   public class Expenses
{
    [Key]
    public int Expenses_Id { get; set; }
    public string Expenses_Type { get; set; }
}

How can I show the Expence_Type ?

reportDataSource.Value = _context.ExpenseDetails.ToList();

I tried to add the other table in this code but it is not returned.

You can create join between two table and assign this as your report data source

Try this

var dataList = (from ed in _context.ExpenseDetails
                 join e in _context.Expenses on ed.ExpensesId equals e.Expenses_Id 
                 select new {
                     id = ed.ExpenseDetails_Id ,
                     amount = ed.Amount ,
                     expense = ed.DateExpense ,
                     eid = ed.ExpensesId ,
                     expenseType = e.Expenses_Type 
                 }).ToList();

and add this

reportDataSource.Value = dataList ;
